In Australia why don't you this year donate to the Smith Family's Winter Appeal ( running from May1 to June 30)?? According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, about 680,000 children live in homes where neither parent is employed and this is expected to rise as the global financial crisis continues. Many of these children are left with no choice but to wear their summer school uniform through winter because the expense of winter uniform is unmanageable for the parents.
Being dressed differently can impact on how the children fit in and are accepted by their peer group as well. Supporting children to fit in and feel comfortable where they are educated can help break the cycle of poverty. To support this appeal call 1800 024 069 or go to www.thesmithfamily.com.au
Wherever you are in the world, it might be a good idea to explore what you can do where you are.
